আল ইনশিকাক (ফেটে চুর্ণ বিচুর্ণ হওয়া)

1 When the sky is rent asunder,

1 In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. When the heaven is split asunder,

2 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, and it must needs (do so); -

2 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

3 And when the earth is flattened out,

3 And when the earth is stretched forth,

4 And casts forth what is within it and becomes (clean) empty,

4 And has cast out all that was in it and became empty.

5 And hearkens to (the Command of) its Lord, - and it must needs (do so); - (then will come Home the full reality).

5 And listens to and obeys its Lord - and it must do so.

6 O thou man! Verily thou art ever toiling on towards thy Lord - painfully toiling, - but thou shalt meet Him.

6 O man! Verily, you are returning towards your Lord with your deeds and actions (good or bad), a sure returning, and you will meet (the results of your deeds which you did).

7 Then he who is given his Record in his right hand,

7 Then as for him who will be given his Record in his right hand,

8 Soon will his account be taken by an easy reckoning,

8 He surely will receive an easy reckoning,

9 And he will turn to his people, rejoicing!

9 And will return to his family in joy!

10 But he who is given his Record behind his back, -

10 But whosoever is given his Record behind his back,

11 Soon will he cry for perdition,

11 He will invoke (for his) destruction,

12 And he will enter a Blazing Fire.

12 And he shall enter a blazing Fire, and be made to taste its burning.

13 Truly, did he go about among his people, rejoicing!

13 Verily, he was among his people in joy!

14 Truly, did he think that he would not have to return (to Us)!

14 Verily, he thought that he would never come back (to Us)!

15 Nay, nay! for his Lord was (ever) watchful of him!

15 Yes! Verily, his Lord has been ever beholding him!

16 So I do call to witness the ruddy glow of Sunset;

16 So I swear by the afterglow of sunset;

17 The Night and its Homing;

17 And by the night and whatever it gathers in its darkness,

18 And the Moon in her fullness:

18 And by the moon when it is at the full.

19 Ye shall surely travel from stage to stage.

19 You shall certainly travel from stage to stage (in this life and in the Hereafter).

20 What then is the matter with them, that they believe not? -

20 What is the matter with them, that they believe not?

21 And when the Qur'an is read to them, they fall not prostrate,

21 And when the Qur'an is recited to them, they fall not prostrate.

22 But on the contrary the Unbelievers reject (it).

22 Nay, those who disbelieve belie (Prophet Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم and whatever he brought, i.e. this Qur'an and Islamic Monotheism, etc.).

23 But Allah has full knowledge of what they secrete (in their breasts)

23 And Allah knows best what they gather (of good and bad deeds),

24 So announce to them a Penalty Grievous,

24 So announce to them a painful torment.

25 Except to those who believe and work righteous deeds: For them is a Reward that will never fail.

25 Save those who believe and do righteous good deeds, for them is a reward that will never come to an end (i.e. Paradise).
